I don't see many options at all. I cannot name any rising challengers at 145 and at the moment, no one is close at 135.

Maybe I am wrong but I think Holly Holm has a reasonable chance to beat Nunes,why?
Holly has a long carrier as a top boxer,she knows how to avoid getting punched and if the match goes to third round then she has a chance to win,though after Nunes recent performance she must be regarded as the clear favorite.

Yeah I Agree. I feel like Holly's kit "counters" Nunes's

Cyborg may have thought she could walk through Nunes's punches and compete with her hand speed. She couldn't.

The blueprint to beating her is to smother her and tire her with grappling. If you can force her to expend a lot of energy defending takedowns, head fighting in the clinch, that speed and explosiveness will diminish by the 2nd round. There won't be the same pop on her punches and her movement will become lethargic.
Agreed. That is the alternate universe story of this Cyborg/Nunes fight. Cyborg had all the tools she needed to beat Nunes, if she had used them. She has an excellent gas tank, and knows her way around clinching and grapping. If she had closed to clinch/grapple range in a defensive stance and did some work in there for a couple of rounds, that would have taken the edge off of Nunes' attack. Cyborg's chin isn't bad; no woman in Nunes' weight class is going to survive absorbing her best 1st round offense. She would have survived a few Nunes 1st round punches, but not six or eight of them.

So instead of that more measured approach, Cyborg chose to exhibit the best defensive work I've seen in a long time: she blocked almost all of Nunes' punches with her face.

Raquel Pennington took Amanda to a 5th round, yet who among readers here thinks Raquel could last longer than a round with Cyborg?

That's the issue with MMA math.

All fighters have weaknesses that someone else can exploit.

I think Raquel could last longer than a round with Cyborg. Raquel doesn't give easy fights because she's solid everywhere - striking, grappling, etc, and she's durable even when being outclassed. No one has blown her away inside the first round and she's only been stopped twice in 27 fights (pro/am combined). She's a lot better than her record suggests.
